Not bad, I mean everyone always hopes for more when it comes to battery life.

ABizzel15116d ago

-_- ....hmmm....

Not to sure how I feel about that. Let's push for 6 - 8 Nintendo, although 3 - 5 should be fine for most gaming sessions.

Ddouble5116d ago

It's much larger though so you would a bigger battery than the Vita's. Saying that though, the controller always has a dedicated stream of data to and from the console which is probably why it's only 3 - 5 hours.

It's not a big deal anyway since it's not a portable.

mewhy325115d ago

This is typical battery life for such an advanced device.

Kur05116d ago

Battery life isn't too much of an issue since this isn't to be taken with you everywhere you go.

LOL_WUT5116d ago

Did anyone noticed that big cable that was connected through the gamepad?

Anyways 3 to 5 hours sounds ok.

xtremexx5116d ago

they said that its like that because its not wireless yet.

CouldHaveYelledUiiW5116d ago

If it has an inner rechargable battery- no problem.

GameOn5116d ago

AA batteries are much better (rechargeable obviously) so I think im destined for dissapointment.

Lf_sIcKmAn5116d ago

You actually think wasting so much money on batteries makes sense? WTF is wrong with you?!

GameOn5116d ago (Edited 5116d ago )

I've probably spent 20 quid in five years on batteries. Not bad seeing as I can easily switch them out and always have at least one set charged, no cables. Wham bam thank you mam.

and WTF is wrong with you, Have some manners. no wonder you were on my ignore list ya douche.

ShinMaster5115d ago (Edited 5115d ago )

So you'd rather spend money on batteries than to not have to spend anything at all with a rechargeable inner battery?

AA batteries on the Wii were such a hassle.

GameOn5115d ago

Ok I'll try and make this crystal.
It's a tiny price to pay to ensure there's never a need to turn your wireless controller into a wired controller. I want less cables thank you and I have no regrets seeing as they've been so useful to have around for loads of stuff. Money well spent and who knows maybe ill get another 5 years out of them.

ShinMaster5115d ago

And yes it will come with a cable to recharge.

I'd rather plug it in and continue to play than stop to replace the batteries and pay for them.

GameOn5115d ago

you do that. Ill use the superior mothod.
Now watch you dont trip over those cables. lol

ShinMaster5114d ago (Edited 5114d ago )

You can exaggerate to make a point all you want. But you only use the cable to charge. It's unlikely that anyone will trip.

I like how your "superior method" won't actually exist lol.
But you go ahead and pile up on batteries.

Here's a FACT: CD players, MP3 players, handheld gaming devices, controllers, ALL stopped using AA batteries.

As the son of Andrew Hewson—the man behind legendary publisher Hewson Consultants—Rob Hewson didn't just grow up playing video games; he learned to spell his name from their title screens. However, Rob didn't just rest on his family's 8-bit laurels. From leading major LEGO franchises at TT Games to tackling the high-stakes world of technical porting at Huey Games, Rob has carved out a unique path in an ever-evolving industry. In this candid interview Rob to discussed the burden and beauty of a family legacy, the technical "scar tissue" left by the ambitious Hydrophobia, and why porting a masterpiece like Inscryption to consoles is far more than a simple copy-paste job.

Best 2D, Mario World, best 3D, Mario 64. Can't say there's been a bad one, although Mario World 2 wasn't a true sequel. The Mario Land games were good (not the first one) and also Wario Land. I thought after Mario 64, Mario 3D World was excellent.
